Abstract

Abstract : The Cover Feature represents the influence that increasing the proportion of the Z amide conformer has on the formation of liquid crystal phases in benzanilide‐based dimers. It shows a set of scales carrying models of a benzanilide core in the Z and E conformers. The background shows a POM texture of a nematic phase fading to black.
